About MAP & Our Community

Mission

MAP St. Louis provides adolescents with a Montessori learning environment that allows students to meet their full potential as they journey toward becoming creative, critically thinking, and socially conscious adults. Meaningful, place-based work allows students to develop as individuals and encourages commitment to the well-being of the community. MAP students study across the disciplines in direct connection with purposeful, on-site work, which allows them to build the lifelong desire for knowledge and understanding.

COMMUNITY

Strategically situated in Grand Center, the heart of St. Louis’ arts community, MAP St. Louis is surrounded by world-class education, art, research, culture, and innovation in tech and bioscience.

At MAP St. Louis, key concepts are taught in our three-year, mixed-age classroom, but we know that the real discoveries and the potential for true innovation occurs when the students are exploring and collaborating beyond the walls of the classroom. Students participate in this type of expanded learning through community engagement and the development of mutually beneficial partnerships with St. Louis’ dynamic and diverse organizations, businesses and professionals.
